The documentary moves outward from literature into subculture, profiling real-world figures including Michael Synergy, described as a "legitimate cyber hero," and covering hacker culture, smart drugs, body modification, prosthetics research, and early virtual reality development. Gibson is interviewed at length and is candid that he is not himself technical. The philosophical implications of cyberspace and virtual reality close the program, with contributors speculating on VR as an alternate dimension and social transformation technology.
